As one of the leading actors and directors of their respective generations — with Aaron Taylor-Johnson recently reportedly offered the new James Bond role, and Sam Taylor-Johnson’s upcoming Amy Winehouse biopic being one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year — it’s no surprise the couple met on a film set. What was — and remains — surprising is their age gap. He’s now 33 and she’s 57.
The two met while filming Nowhere Boy, where Aaron played a teenage John Lennon and Sam directed. At the time Aaron was 18 and Sam was 42, so when they were pictured cuddling up to one another before officially confirming they were dating it raised a few eyebrows.
